A GIRLS STRANGE SUICIDE.
Gertrude BeeerOft Takes Rat
Poison and Dies i'm New
York Hospital.

New York, July ~. Gertrude Beecroft
the pretty seventeen-year-old girl, whose
mother lives at No. 267 West Seventeenth
street, and who took rat poison on Satur-
day night, died at the New York Hospital
at o'clock yesterday morning. She was
in an unconscion condition when brought
to the hospital. Before she died she rallied
at intervals, and during her rational mo-
ment. she cried, "Johnnie Flynn Johnnie
Flynn" and added that young mans ad-
dress, No. l45 East Fifteenth street. 1t is
believed that she had been betrayed and
had been turned away from home. So far
as is known, these are the reasons why she
committed suicide. She was employed
until about five weeks ago in candy store
of the West Side hotel, on Sixth avenue
and Fifteenth street. Here she met the
young man, John Flynn, who lives at No.
AS East Fifteenth street. When she met
him, be was living at the hotel. After
Gertrude left the hotel, Flynn used to visit
her at her mothers home, No. 267 West
Seventeenth street.
Flynn is about tsenty-four years old,
and at his home yesterday he said that he
met Gertrude at the West Side Hotel,
and later visited her at her mothers house.
His sister had taken fancy to Gertrude,
and week ago, when her mother turned
Gertrude away, she came to his house. He
said he had heard rumors Of her condition
and also of her intimacy with DIR. Gray,
whose address he did not know. Flynn
didn't know why the girl took poison.
Saturday night she had been drinking,
he said, and when she returned she went
to her room and was taken sick. Later
she was brought to her brother Reginald.
An ambulance was called and she was
taken to the hospital. The Beecrofts re
fuse to be seen yesterday.

Took Poison.

81. Louis July 26.-At 10: 80 yesterday
morning Annie G'Donnell, living on North
Broadway, near Madison, called at The
drug store of Otto DAmour and obtained
q quantity of rat poison. Proceeding to
her home, she carefully buttered piece OF
pie with the poison, and then deliberately
consumed the mixture. A neighber was
attracted by the cries of her little sister,
went to the house and found Annie
ODonnell in a complete state of collapse.
A large quantity of warm water was at
once administered and doctor summoned,
who applied the necessary remedies and
succeeded in expelling the poison from her
system. Disappointment in love is said to
have been the reason of the rash attempt.
This opinion gained strength when it be-
came known that an intimate friend of
Annie ODonnell, Annie Grimshaw by
name, living at 90S Tyler street, had
made q similar attempt on the preceding
night, and had only been saved by the
prompt arrival of doctor and. stomach
pump. A young man had been dividing
his attentions between the pair, and this is
supposed to be the cause of both attempts
at self-murder. Both girls are entirely
ont of danger.

Was it an Attempt at Murder?

Parkersburg, W. Va, July 2S-Mrs.
Perry Farrow, whose implication in a
scandal with Howard Farrew, her hus-
bands cousin. caused great social and
church sensation, and resulted in the trial
and expulsion of both from the Baptist
church of this city. was found late last
night in an alley, directly in the rear OF
the home of Farrow, in an unconscious
condition and apparently dying. The
woman was accompanied by one Of her
little children, and the cries of the child
attracted the attention of the ueighbors.
As soon as possible she was conveyed to
her home and medical aid summoned.
Everything possible for her relief was
done, but with little hope of success. She
had taken enough laudanum, it was be-
lieved, to kill half dozen people.
This morning it was discovered that the
woman's clothing had been torn, as if in a
struggle, while the ground in the neigh
borhood where she was found showed
signs OF having been violently disturbed.
Ii was at first believed that Mrs. Fsrrow
had deliberately determined upon suicide;
but the discoveries have puzzled the OFF,
Gals. The people are excited over the
affair and generally lay the blame of the
womsns troubles on the man wEo betray-
ed her and then confessed the crime.

SHOT A BURGLAR.
An Early Morning Encounter i'm
an Ann Street Cigar
Factory.

New York, July 26.-August Miller, of
No. 1O6 West Thirty-eight street, is nine
teen years old, and is employed as clerk by
Henry Mayer, whose cigar factory lie on
the third floor of No. % Ann street. 1t is
part of Miller's business 10 open the facto-
~ every morning. Yesterday morning at
Z O'Clock he found the door open. Step
ping aside. he found strange man indus
iriously showing boxes. of cigars into a
large bag.
"Whst are you doing here?" demanded
Miller.
The burglar turned, pulled out a bright
revolver and fired two shots in quick sue
c-ssion. The bullets whizzed past Miller's
head and the man closed with his assail-
ant. Miller tried to seize the weapon, and
In the struggle it was discharged again.
This time the ball lacerated the fore6nger
of Miller's right hand and passed through
his hat. The burglar flung Miller to the
floor and ran away, leaving his weapon
behind.
Miller's wound was dressed at the Cham
bers Street Hospital. He describes the
burglar as tall, slender and shabby. The
police were notified of the shooting and
Detective Shelby was put on the case. 1t
is thought that the burglar was possibly
an inmate of the lodging-house over the
cigar factory.

Fell From a Window.

Kansas City, July &c. A. Perkins, a
saddler working at 706 Walnut street, and
roeming over the store, fell from the
second story window last night, a half
past o'clock, and was badly injured.
Perkins is unmarried and rooms with
Fry Fox. Fox says Perkins came into the
room about l o'clock. He was awakened
by the noise in the room but dropped of to
sleep in few minutes, The next thing he
heard was some talking outside on the
street. Going to the window he saw man
standing over Perkins, who had evidently
fallen out of the window.
Parkins had come home under the in
fuence of liquor. He had undressed, and
the supposition is that feeling sick he had
gone to the window to vemit and had
fallen out. He was cut over the left eye,
and had bled pretty freely. An awning
under the window had broken his fall,
which, otherwise, might have proved a
fatal one. Unless he received some in
ternal injuries, he is not likely to suffer
very greatly from the fall.

TOO OLD TO MARRY.
Death of DIR. L. ID. StandifOrd,
The Million aire Rail-
road Man of Louis
vile.

Louisville, Ky, July 27--Dr. E. ID.
Standiford died this morning at o'clock,
at his home, 1922 Fourth avenue. He had
been in poor. health for about three months
and was seriously i'll week before his
marriage 10 Miss Laura Scott at Paducah,
little over two weeks ago. He would
not have physician, however, not think
ing his condition serious enough, and il
was not until last Friday that Drs. Yam
dell and Roberts were called upon him.
He was seriously I'LL from that
time until yesterday morning al
6 o'clock. He had been in bed, however,
since Friday week. Yesterday morning ne
felt much better, but was unable to get out
of bed. He tried to take little nourish-
ment, but all that he could retain was a
little boiled milk and beef tea He was
quite cheerful, however, and talked with
various members of the family who were
with HIM. Up to noon he continued to
feel better, but after that time he began to
grow worse. He evidently had not the
slightest idea of his approaching dissolu-
ton, however, and neither did his family,
nearly all of whom were with him. About
10 o'clock he grew much worse. Drs.
Yandell and Roberts were sent for and re-
NAMED with him until his death.
In spite of all that could be
done he sank rapidly. A few
minutes before o'clock he called three
times for "Mary," meaning his daughter,
Mrs. Murray Keller. He evidently had
something that he wished to say to her.
However, be could not make himself un.
derstood. he was so weak. DR.. Stamford
was an active candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Mr.. Beck. He
was ex-President of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad, President OF the j.. M.
& /. Bridge Company, a director of the
Farmers 4 Drovers' Bank, and farmer
on an extensive scale, and one
of the wealthiest men in the
State, DR.. Standiford leaves family
of seven children. OF this number
FIVE were the result of his first marriage
and two of the second. The oldest are Mrs.
James Caldwell, Mrs. Murray Kellar, Mrs.
George L. Danforth, Frank Virginia, Net
tie and E. ID. Stanford, Jr. The latter two
are and 10 years old, Miss Virginia 10
and Frank % years old. All of them were
present at his bedside except Mrs. Dan
forth, who was at her home in the country.
He was SO years old.

"Lucky" Baldwin.

San Francisco, Cal, July 26.-The
famous Perkins Baldwin breach of prom
Use case came to what seems a sudden end
Saturday at Los Angeles. It will be re
membered that Miss Louise c. Perkins, the
daughter of one of the renters from Bald
win On his great Santa Anita ranch
brought suit against "Lucky" Baldwin
the aged millionaire, for S150,000. She
claimed that Baldwin had promised to
marry her when he married his last wife,
Miss Bennett, she brought this suit. Bald
win tried to secure a change of venue
but failed. Miss Perkins estab-
ished the main facts of her COM
plant and the jury promptly returned a
verdict of $4,000. Baldwin at once ap-
pealed. The case was to come up to-day
on appeal, but Saturday evening just be-
fore the court house closed in Los Angeles,
the attorney for baldwin filed a supple
mental answer, in which they declared that
for the payment of 500 "and other good
and valuable consideration" the plaintiff
had agreed to settle the claim against the
defendants. This was bombshell for Miss
Perkins lawyers, who knew nothing of the
flank movement by the willy old man. 1t
seems that Baldwin's detectives, after two
months work, induced Miss Perkins to
make the compromise for $1,000 and the
payment of her lawyers fees. There is a
promise of lively time in court to-day
when the case comes up, as Miss Perkins,
lawyers are very angry.
